Default Anyone have Sevas S-55 wheels?

Anyone have these? How are they? Any pics?

Here are the spec:

Fronts:
20x8.5 +40
Falken FK452
235/30/20

Rears:
20x10 +40
Falken FK452
245/35/20

I found a deal and was looking into them since they are kind of close in appearance to the Vossen wheels I like.

Thanks...

most of the problems with sevas were with their 22+" wheels.
then again tho, any 22"+ 1 piece wheel has trouble written all over it
245 in the rear is SUPER stretched tho. i have a 275 in the back.

Gotta find out what caused that wheel to crack like that....hit a huge pothole? if so, then most wheels will crack too....imo.

Here are my S-55 on my 2GS.

20x8.5/10....ET +25 all around...245/35/20 all around.

Also, the cracked wheels are S-22....not S-55.

It was a big pothole that did it....I read that thread.

There are other factors that could cause the crack....

Like...how much psi was his tires? If low psi, and you hit a big pothole, it will definitely damage the wheel....seen it many times.

Also, how deep were his tire treads? If you got near balding tires...and hit the pothole......i think you get the picture.

Thus, I pump my tires to 38 psi....somewhat high....and I got lots of treads on my tires.
